In and Around

The Only Olive is situated on a hillock with lovely views of the surrounding village. This is the only village caromed by rivers on all three sides and that too in the shape of a horse shoe. The riverside has been the personal favourite of many a traveller here. It’s bliss to visit this segment of the Mapusa river which is a tributary of the Mandovi river. It’s a very short walk off the villa and the morning air is crisp with the lovely green foliage and beckoning serenity around.

The vicinity has the densest variety of birds and butterflies. It’s a sheer delight for bird watchers.
Experience how you could bottle up time as you sit by the river side angling with the breeze pecking you all over. So be it angling or crab spotting or trailing the golden green path of fireflies in the night The Olive is the perfect choice for the romantic, explorer, traveller in you.
No wonder the area has drawn the literati in an unending love story. Many writers and artists have taken this place as their home!

This could be one of Aldona’s premium properties by the very virtue of fact that it offers a ringside view of the best local culture and fare it can provide you with. We just got lucky with the property and its location, on a personal note :)
The local market Tinto’s has a pharmacy and a horde of stores and small eat outs for simple living. Sebros bakery has been offering local made Goan sweets like bebinca, dodol for nearly 25 years now!
Tinto, the market place, also has a bar providing you with some of the best tasting feni.
Gokuldas Naik’s family makes and sells some Indian snacks and savouries (chakries and chudas) which are very popular and are a huge hit with The Olive guests. And Adrian says right behind The Olive there’s an Aunty who sells some “unbelievably” delicious sweets!

The famous BAO is close by at walking distance just short of the Corjeum bridge. This provides the most delicious local Goan thali and sea food and meat delicacies. It’s a must try.
Andron is at Nachinola around two kms away and is again the best eat out for authentic Goan fare. The pork and sea food preps are delicious. Do not miss Tony’s hospitality!
